Evgenia Citkowitz Family
Evgenia Citkowitz is the daughter of Lady Caroline Blackwood and Israel Citkowitz. Her mother, Caroline Blackwood, was a legendary novelist and the heiress to the Guinness fortune. Given her long history of drinking and smoking, she was diagnosed with liver and lung cancer. Her oncologist gave her three weeks to live. She died of cancer in 1996 at the age of 63.
Born into the fabulously wealthy Guinness brewing dynasty, Caroline Blackwood grew up among the aristocracy in her ancestral stone mansion in Northern Ireland.
She was known for her high-profile marriages, first to the painter Lucian Freud, who painted her famous 1952 portrait, “Girl in Bed.”
She eloped with Freud to Paris in 1952, where they lived for two years and kept company with the likes of Pablo Picasso. His tendency for gambling and recklessness were among the reasons for the breakup of their marriage.
In the wake of their separation, Blackwood took an interest in acting and moved into Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont, while she played a small role in the television series, Have Gun Will Travel.
When she moved to New York, Caroline married composer and pianist Israel Citkowitz, a very accomplished man who was 22 years her senior. They were married for seven years, but by the time she gave birth to their third child, Ivana, their marriage was over too. It wasn’t revealed until Blackwood was on her deathbed that Ivana’s real father was in fact one of her rumoured boyfriends, screenwriter Ivan Moffat. Despite her infidelities, Blackwood stayed friends with her second husband, Citkowitz, even after she left him for the American poet Robert Lowell.
Her third husband, poet Robert Lowell, described her as “a mermaid who dines upon the bones of her winded lovers”.
